At the footy last night we had a black linesman. now at some point during the night, one of our fans shouted some friendly banter at him calling him ainsley. Now this was obviously a referance to Ainsley Harriet the Black chef famous in the Uk!
Now my friend said this was a bit naughty, but I argued that if he was a bit fat and had a beard and I'd shouted out hey Worral Thompson you useless c***, no one would have worried in the slightest! He responded that the reason the ainsley coment was rasist was that it was suggesting all blacks look the same, and that it was meant in a racist manner! now in my opinion this guy did have a bald head and had a slight resemblance to the man. So is this racist or just a typical over reaction to a comical moment! (sorry you yanks and cannucks aren't gonna have a clue what I'm on about on this one!)
